As part of the ongoing autotools reworking, migrate away from
autoconf-2.5x to autoconf-2.61 (leaving autoconf-2.13 for legacy reasons).

Tinderbox results can be found at http://tinderbox.lovett.com/
There are a couple of transient perl leftovers, two ports have
real leftovers (one as a result of this change, the other not, maintainers
have been contacted).
The three port failures are also present on a unmodified tree.
How-To-Repeat:

Now that autoconf 2.5x will be removed from the system, is there
going to be documentation for porters and porters-to-be on how to
handle software whose *.am and *.in scripts are expecting the
availability of certain autoconf 2.5x specific macros and features?
Or is that all (more or less) backwards compatible?
